The Top 9 Reasons Why Dorm
Life Beats Off-campus Residence


9> It’s easier for a pathetic loser to get lost among th

thousands of dorm rats.

8> Living off campus can get pretty pricey; dorm housing saves you money: You can get pot, Doritos, beer and laid with just one trip down the hallway.

7> Parents are 2.13% less likely to stop by and visit dorms.

6> Where else can you get the pleasure of tipping over a 50-gallon garbage can full of water onto a group of incoming freshmen at the bottom of the stairwell?

5> RAs can be bought off with a pizza. Landlords require more substantial bribes.

4> Driving to school in your PJs is ridiculous and embarrasing. Walking to class in PJs is prefectly reasonable.

3> Off campus: Your phone number is seven numbers to memorize. Dorm: Your phone number is only four!!

2> Your mom can’t barge in at all hours.

and the Number 1 Reason Why Dorm Life Beats Off-campus
Residence…

1> Dorm fees can be rolled into tuition and paid with student loans. Off campus rent must be paid with *real* money.
